A daughter of Seattle pioneers David (1832-1903) and Louisa Boren Denny (1827-1916), Emily Inez Denny (known as Inez) was an artist and writer. Her book Blazing The Way, published in 1909, recounted her family’s Oregon Trail migration from Cherry Grove, Illinois, to Portland, Oregon, and the subsequent founding of Seattle. Denny was a longtime member of the Woman’s Century Club, founded in 1891 to promote education, charitable activities, and socialization among its members. The Woman’s Century Club Magazine was published annually in 1899 and 1900, and possibly in subsequent years.
